Axiom TNQ Beach Gold.

Axiom works well on our TNQ beaches.
Settings and modes are definitely different from what is used when gold prospecting.
However the aim is the same, find some Au.

I watched a YouTube video on a bloke in the US. He was working in a paddock where he'd prospected for coins and relics with the Equinox and other coin detectors. The Axiom was picking up lots of targets in areas where he thought it was all done.

I wondered if any good gold detector would have had the same result. I've tried the beach with the gold detector and found I was digging to the bottom of the earth for cans, sinkers and tent pegs so I gave it away.

Keep in mind that if you are not detecting a part of the beach where the sand is high in black sand, you are wasting your time with alluvial gold. And it almost always will require an alluvial gold source on-shore nearby to have derived the sand from it (e.g. as near Bermagui)

Beach gold = gold rings.
Just need rich people & skinny fingers

A hundred or so of this bloke swimming on the beach would be ideal. Liberace

OK, Has anyone had any luck detecting beach placer gold on the east coast? Victoria is a dead loss because the source areas inland are far from the sea until you get east of Bairnsdale. But I read of good historical yields in places on the NSW coast (eg 9 kg in a few days).

There used to be a seaside resort South of Pt. Douglas in TNQ that cater for these people, usually well booked after the Sydney parade.
